Renshaw - Fondant
Renshaw Extra White Fondant 2.5 kg
Neutral white base for regular workshop production
Renshaw Extra White Fondant Icing 2.5 kg is a ready-to-use fondant from the historic range of British brand Renshaw, a cake design staple since 1898. Its firm, elastic texture is ideal for smooth covering and precise modelling, while its subtle vanilla flavour does not overpower the cake.
White is the neutral base colour in cake design, suitable for use as is or as a starting point for any shade. The 2.5 kg size is suitable for an independent bakery covering several cakes each week.

Frequently asked questions
Your questions, our advice
Is this format suitable for a bakery starting regular production?
Yes, 2.5 kg is a good middle ground for a bakery that covers several cakes a week but has not yet reached boutique production volumes. Beyond that, the 5 kg format is more practical.
Can this white fondant be colored easily?
Yes, Renshaw fondant is well suited to kneading with oil-based or water-soluble food coloring. Add the coloring gradually and knead until the color is even, with no marbling.
How much fondant do you need for a tiered wedding cake?
Allow around 750 g for a 20 cm-diameter tier and 1 kg for 25 cm. For a multi-tier cake, add the amounts for each tier, allowing an extra 15 to 20% for offcuts.
